Wetmount install condundrum, Loctite Putty?

[Stan K G]

I just used marine putty and silicone sealant to setup my wet mount, I'll know in the morning if it worked

if you have a revo, this is how you mount the transducer....very simple, no goop...I've had a few different types of transducers mounted this way in a couple different boats....works great everytime!!

see post 68.....do it and don't look back.

Scallywag, I have the Outback, but the hull design near the mast section is essentially the same I imagine....the problem is I don't have that kind of transducer, mine looks like this.....not sure how I would fabricate a device to clamp on to it since it's round like a hockey puck......however I could just lay it down there inside the well and use something to keep it from sliding around....i looks like yours sitting on the hull practically. With the Airmar, I don't think I can get enough water into the hull for it to touch the transducer, there is about an inch or so clearance between the bottom of the well and where the transucer seats.

use a cup of any kind, cut the bottom out, I use a pelican box with the bottom cut out, glue the sides of your cylinder to the bottom of the hull with 5200 available at any west marine. wait 24 hours, then go fish 5200 is without question the best adhesive for a water seal going. fill the cup with water and set your transducer in it. DONE

Thnx, sometimes I make things so much more complicated than they need to be....

For strapping the transducer in place you could glue a couple pad eyes to the hull and use some bungies.
